Jamie sent in this link to make this spring fling garland: I create items using 99% recycled materials. I love finding new ways of using what you have, or turning something someone else has discarded into a beautiful new creation!

Katharine from woollywotnots sent in this link to her heart hangings – made from cardboard and wool scraps, she says: You can make them in a variety of colours to match your home decor or make them stripey and multi-coloured. They are great to make with friends and children. They are very simple and look great. You can use them for Valentine’s, special occasions or have them hanging around your home all year round.

These are the cutest – I loved the clear instructions and various fabrics shown – this project would be great for gifts, party bags, or just because! Link to origami fabric pocket tutorial from Alison.

This simple knit dolls vest - steiner style – is so simple that the kids will be knitting vests for all their dolls and teddies.

Jenny wrote this about this tutorial: The tutorial is initially aimed at people with very limited knitting experience and is the first in a weekly series I am undertaking to help my blog readers, many of whom have bought dolls from me, to feel confident to design and make their own doll clothes. I am going to build each week on the previous lesson so that we can knit and sew a whole wardrobe of doll clothes. I look forward to more in the series.

It’s rough being a BOY in a sea full of girly blog tutorials and sewing ideas. …

For whole of february, Made is teaming up with Made by Rae for a whole month of boy only tutorials and ideas – including: boys clothing, crafts and toys + 12 guest bloggers – sounds exciting.

To kick start the month made has a boys backpack made from men’s cast off pants, and made by rae has a tute on how to refashion a men’s shirt into a little boy’s shirt.

made has some awfully cute pirate lounge pants and the most fantastic 90 minute stretch top (above). Go join the blokey fun – I will be checking in during the month to see what else they are up to.

Kimberly wrote in with this link to her pattern for making an insulin vial cosy: A friend’s mother had dropped and broken 2 of her insulin vials within a week, spilling all her insulin, so upon my friend’s plea for help, I crocheted a little cozy for her to try and protect her vials if she happened to drop them again. I thought others might find this useful, so I wanted to try and put out this pattern to reach as many people as possible. Get the pdf for this here (scroll down the page).
